You're Top Poster: #3   | Confucius says beware of the bean counters!
__________________ Spidge, ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #4  | OFFS's! Can they not understand that to do what they demand the MOD must have money, equipment and men?!

You're Top Poster: #4 | Yes but this is Labour we are talking about. Intelligence is not a word they know.

You're Top Poster: #1  | And considering the need for more and more mobility, with many countries becoming hostile to UK foreign policy (and hence denying air space to the RAF), the UK really needs a viable navy if it wants to continue in its current interventionist role. So either stop the cuts or stop messing around in other people's wars.
